Who exactly is a Caucasian? And what does this label even mean anyways? Although the term "Caucasoid" or "Caucasian" is largely considered to be outdated and inaccurate, today we'll be discussing whether the people historically described as such actually have any sort of genealogical or sociopolitical/cultural similarities in their origins whatsoever.

This video is NOT intended to be controversial or spark arguments over the usage of the word “race,” only to show a common genetic contribution to various populations spread out over a large chunk of the Earth's surface and the historical reasoning and analysis behind the term “Caucasoid.” It's just a stupid term that someone made up over a hundred years ago, so relax. Thanks for watching!
